Norse Myths and Tales
Anthology of Classic Tales
Fore. Brittany Schorn New Hardback
Postscript summary
Permeated with a sense of struggle between chaos and order, and the understanding that destiny lies outside a person’s control, Viking mythology often mirrors the strong family ties found in Norse society. From the creation myths to Ragnarok and the end of the world, all the main stories of that mythology are retold in this collection – presented with a foreword by Brittany Schorn in this foil-blocked edition.
Product information
Full publisher description
Lively, stark and formidable, the imagery of Norse mythology storms through this classic collection. The fierce glory of Odin, Frigga, Heimdall and their fellow gods of Asgard shines here, with all the great adventures, from Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, to the legends of Loki. And from the fabled Bifrost to the forging of Thor's hammer, each Viking legend is riven with a vitality that speaks to us still. Here you'll find out how Odin lost his eye, how Tyr lost his hand and read the terrible punishment meted out to Loki. Included too is the Sigurd Saga with its sleeping warrior maidens, treasures and glorious, heroic battles. This wonderful collection finishes with The Death of Balder, the Revenge of the Gods and, fittingly, Ragnarok.
The latest title in Flame Tree's beautiful, comprehensive series of Gothic Fantasy titles, concentrates on the ancient, epic origins of modern fantasy.
